Knee pain is a common concern among adults and can significantly affect mobility and daily activities. It may develop gradually due to wear and tear or occur suddenly following injury. Understanding the causes and available treatment options helps prevent long-term joint damage.
Common Causes of Knee Pain
Knee pain can result from several factors including:
- Osteoarthritis due to cartilage wear
- Ligament or meniscus injuries
- Muscle imbalance or weakness
- Obesity and excess joint stress
- Poor posture and movement patterns
Identifying the root cause is essential for effective treatment.
Symptoms That Should Not Be Ignored
Persistent pain, swelling, stiffness, instability, or difficulty climbing stairs are signs that require orthopaedic evaluation. Delaying treatment may worsen joint degeneration.
Knee Pain Treatment Options
Knee Treatment is tailored to the severity of symptoms and patient lifestyle.
Non-surgical options include physiotherapy, pain management, activity modification, and weight management. Injection-based therapies may be recommended in selected cases.
Surgical intervention such as arthroscopy or knee replacement is considered only when conservative care fails to provide relief.
Preventing Knee Pain
Maintaining healthy body weight, strengthening muscles around the knee, using proper footwear, and avoiding repetitive stress can help protect knee joints.
Early evaluation and consistent care help adults maintain mobility and joint health.
